Astute social commentary in six words! The genius of your pen never fails to amaze me, Gershon. You are as impressive as you are expressive! :) Congratulations for your excellent win in Joseph's contest, my dear friend.. ~Susan

I see that your heart was moved to write a brevette yourself, my dear... And after reading your lovely write, I wrote another one, just posted. May we keep up this mutual inspiration society! :) Gershon

Susan, your warm words are so welcome on this, of all nights, when I have learned of the passing of Dennis Gauthier, Line's beloved husband. May he rest in peace. Thank you, my friend. Peace, Gershon

In true political spirit gw. Let's not do anything about it. Let's just talk about it for a while and maybe it will go away. LOL laf

The problem is that neither goes away: Neither the problems nor the pols that talk endlessly about them -- and do nothing. Thanks, Linda.
